I have a laptop that I upgraded: ubuntu8.10 -> ubuntu9.0.4
java stopped working in yahoo bridge. (firefox = 3.0.19)
I followed Sun's instructions putting the link to the correct .so file to java6u20 plugin but that did not help. I tried clearing cache. still nothing.
I have another PC with firefox3.0.19 and there is no java plugin but there are two flash plugins (1 free, the other non-free) it is at ubuntu8.10 and java is working just fine in that firefox. I have followed all of firefox's steps for enabling java in the preferences dropdown.
I can provide more details if you need them.

Usually, I close the Firefox window before turning off the computer, (running Windows XP, sp2), but sometimes, e.g. when mains power fails, I try to shut down the computer in a hurry, while FF is still open but no website is open. The program does not then terminate and I get the message that the program is not responding. Can I change any settings to solve this?

I have 2 different accounts at the same websites. Whenever I go to that website, one of my two user names (always the same one) pre-fills the user-name field and I can't access the other account. The website rightfully rejects my password. I cannot overwrite my pre-filled user-name because the second I hit enter to logon, the original user-name rewrites itself into it's field. Neither of the user names is being saved by firefox anywhere in the "tools"; Options, security, advanced or privacy menu fields.

I did notice that that website has installed a cookie onto my computer called "_rememberme" which contains the user-name that is plaguing me.

This is a website that I access for very sensitive and important information and I must have both accounts accessible at different times.

Firefox doesn't work properly as a static button on the Windows 7 taskbar. When you close the main window of Firefox, the Downloads window stays open. Because this is a Firefox window that is still open, you can't start up another main window of Firefox without first closing the Downloads window. This is contrary to the design expectations of Windows 7's taskbar.
